   abstract = {The notion of Multi-Agent System environment is currently considered as a mediating entity, functioning as enabler but possibly also as a manager and constrainer of agent actions, perceptions, and interactions.
It is a first-class abstraction that can be suitably designed to encapsulate some fundamental functionalities and services, supporting coordination and
organization, besides agent mobility, communications, security, etc.
In this paper, we analyze how environment could be a first class abstraction to support the building, development and management of Agreements in decentralized and open systems between autonomous agents.
To this aim we analyze the synergies between environment and the foundational dimensions of agreement technologies such as semantics, norms,
organizations, argumentation \& negotiation, trust.
If some works have already been done on the connections between environment and organizations/norms, the links and interactions of the environment with the other dimensions are still to be explored.}
